Cameron's Adventures: Visit with Grandma

Cameron's grandma came to visit from Wednesday-Saturday. He always has fun having someone else around to play with and boss around! It's always nice having someone else around because there is always something going on here! Andy, hasn't been feeling good. He went to get his teeth cleaned on Thursday and was there all day since they had to sedate him. Even though he had his teeth cleaned 8 months ago, they looked bad again and said there may be some type of infection that is from his teeth. So he seems to be doing better, but is on ear medicine for a month. Then, Cameron had a fever on Wednesday and Thursday. I wasn't going to take him to the Dr. because we are there every week, but we showed up there on Friday at 4 without an appt. hoping to be seen because he was having a bad afternoon and very little sleep. Something was going on....and I would rather he see his Dr. than go to the immediate care over the weekend. So we suspected an ear infection, the Dr. could not see in his little ears because he had a lot of build-up. So we had to hold him down while he tried to scrape some out so he could see his ear drum. Didn't work. So we're not sure if he has an ear infection, but we are treating him for one since they couldn't see and he had the symptoms of an ear infection. And we are going to go to an Ear, Nose and Throat dr. in about a month to take care of his ears. I guess they have some type of instrument that easily cleans the ears when babies have small ear canals. And there is no explanation for the build-up, just something that happens sometimes. They don't suggest cleaning the ears with q-tips or anything else, but he has some medicine to help loosen it up. Hopefully this is just a one-time thing and won't be needed again. We have seen enough specialists!

So we've spent lots of time taking care of "ears" between Andy and Cameron. It's funny because Cameron always sees me cleaning Andy's ears, and last night after I got Cameron's new prescription for his ears he saw the long white tip on the bottle and said "Dee-Dee" for Andy because he thought I was getting ready to clean Andy's ears. He didn't know it was now HIS turn! Cameron and Andy both seem to be HAPPY today and feeling better! Hopefully, in 2010 there will be a lot less Dr. visits!

Cameron checking-up on Andy to make sure he feels ok.
